The University of Tampa will gain transfers Josh Noll and Aidan Clements for the upcoming 2025-2026 season. Both men join after previously spending time at Auburn.
An Illinois native, Noll joins the team after spending two season at Auburn. He finished his season a the last chance meet posting a lifetime best 1:43.40 in the 200 backstroke as well as a season best 1:35.81 in the 200 free.
Noll’s Best SCY Times:
- 200 free: 1:35.51
- 100 back: 47.92
- 200 back: 1:43.40
- 200 fly: 1:46.63
Noll is a big pick up for the Tampa men as his 200 free time would have been #4 on the roster this past season. It also would have been #7 at 2025 NCAAs, an event in which the team had three ‘A’ finalists in including Jacob Hamlin who won in a 1:33.38. Noll’s 200 back would have also made the NCAA ‘A’ final, finishing 6th. His 100 back and 200 fly best times would have made the NCAA ‘B’ finals.
Clements will return to his home state after spending one season at Auburn. He has three years of eligibility remaining.
Clements swam one season with Auburn and finished his season at the first and last chance meets. He swam a season best 1:37.41 in the 200 free at the First Chance meet.
Clements’ Best SCY Times:
- 200 free: 1:37.36
- 500 free: 4:27.91
- 200 fly: 1:48.48
Clements also would already score at Division II NCAAs as it took a 4:27.12 to earn a 2nd swim in the 500 free. He also is not far off what it took to make the Division II ‘B’ final in the 200 free as it took a 1:36.60 and a 1:46.94 in the 200 fly.
The Tampa men won their first NCAA Championship in 2024 and finished 2nd at 2025 NCAAs last month, about 75 points behind Drury. Jacob Hamlin led the way for Tampa, setting new NCAA records in the 500 free, 1000 free, 1650 free, and being a member of the record setting 800 free relay.
Was expecting some faster times coming out of auburn…
Love seeing D1 swimmers go to Tampa. This next year is going to be scary for them. Time to go undefeated🛡️⚔️
These big additions to Tampa men’s roster will definitely help out on the scoring side as many men look to step up on the team after a big senior class leaves, BUT DONT YOU WORRY TAMPA SPARATANS WILL SOARRRR PAST DRURY AND WIN THE 2026 NATTY CHAMPIONSHIP🛡️⚔️
Tampa also got Britton Spann from Auburn… good transfer group they have going down south
The trickle down effect has begun but glad these swimmers have been able to find new homes
If only the trickle down effect worked as well in economics.
God has been guiding plenty of swimmers away from varsity teams lately. Mysterious ways.
Nah that’s grant house
Read the room, pal.
It sucks to see so many good swimmers have to leave a great program
They did have a very bad year to be fair
What’s happening at auburn ???
22 person roster limit they had to cut half the team.
They have recruited 15+ swimmers each year as of late, so cutting down to 22 means a lot of people lost their spots
